In this Elite Dangerous video from EDTutorials by Exigeous we look at why turrets are hot garbage in Elite Dangerous so we can understand the differences between fixed, gimbaled and turreted weapons/hardpoints. As there is a huge damage difference between fixed, gimbaled and turreted it's pretty easy to see that turrets are, in fact, hot garbage.

In this video we look at why turrets should virtually never be used for primary damage, instead being used primarily for applying an experimental effect when engineered. Unengineered the only good reasons to use them for pirmary damage would be multicrew, Anti-Xeno non-Guardian weapons or if you are physically disabled.
